        Just buy the 1000 point engine the instant you get to the shop and then double bombs if you have anything else. Then just play it carefully and don't rush because the #1 killer in that game is enemies spawning right on the edge of the screens running into you. The two bosses it takes you to reach its point threshold are also really not that bad, and this is coming from someone who is bad at shmups.

      yeah if you're starting now doing the entire series and plan on 100% everything, there's too much time doing the exact same minigames across the series. just not worth it. do it in K0 or 1 and then safe to ignore going forward imo.

          Yeah, most people haven't these days. But those are the western analogs. The best I can tell you is once you start playing you start picking it up quick. You just have to sort of start doing it and fail a bunch and pay attention.

          How do I get good at Shogi though?

          The Yakuza 0 steam community used to have a pretty good guide to basic shogi. Shogis probably harder to learn the specifics of since I don't know if it's really played outside of Japan.

      1 and 2 are the PS2 engine.

      5, Ishin, 0, K1, and FotNS are the second, reworked PS3 engine.

      Ishin Kiwami is on the Unreal Engine.
      Black Panthers 1 and 2 are on whatever engine Def Jam ran on to my understanding.
      Online is Unity I think?

      Technically 6, K2, and Judgment are the "first" iteration of the Dragon Engine while Judgment Remastered, 7, and Lost Judgment are the "second" iteration of the Dragon Engine because it has optimizations and reworked lighting the first three games did not have.

          Lost Judgment runs considerably better than Judgment, this isn't even something that needs to be debated. Judgment was mid 20s on a base PS4 and even had framerate drops on a PS4 Pro while LJ was pretty much a solid 30 even on base platforms.
          PC performance is a whole other beast in and unto itself but it absolutely was optimized. We also know 6 to K2 was heavily optimized because it got rid of the screen tearing completely and stayed more or less close to 30 as much as possible compared to 6 which even post-patch occasionally screen tears and drops to the 20s on a base PS4.

    How do I get good at Shogi though?

      If you just want the completion list requirements then just Youtube the name of you game and "Challenge 1" then repeat it five times. This works for everything but LJ because it requires you to win actual matches. There is a cheat item you can buy that plays it for you in LJ though, otherwise you can just make the AI play against a grandmaster AI using something like Shogidokoro with the Spear Shogi AI.

      If you want to learn the actual game? Good luck, it's the hard version of chess. If you know chess you know generally how to play, but it's got different pieces and you can use pieces you captured and place them wherever on the board.

    >want to save ALL survivors and complete all side-missions the the game has to offer
    >"hahah here's this annoying poker minigame where you can't save the survivors until you beat them at poker. also the opponents are cheating and the rules are poorly explained in-game so frick you if you've never played poker before. also you gotta do this minigame two times and you better pray to the RNG gods that the opponents fold soon because otherwise you'll spend an entire in-game day playing it and you'll fail to solve the main campaign which is on a timer. also the first time you play you need to have 100.000 in cash for some reason. have fun and frick you"
    Yes I'm still mad all this time later and no I still don't know how to play fricking poker. I still never saved those annoying 3 poker shits.

      I played the switch version on emulator a couple tiles
      it's pretty good and there's a ridiculous number of rule variations but it's all in japanese so I don't know what they are
      the graphics are pretty bad though which is impressive considering how low the bar is
      I didn't have the latest version so I never got the see the UM characters either

    Mahjong is pretty easy to learn. Japanese mahjong has a bunch of additional rules that make it a joyless slog to learn and play. It’s like those homosexuals that play monopoly with a million house rules because a million different needless additional rules totally makes it better bro.

      I donno man there are some stuff that barely comes up but shit like furiten and riichi are super important additions
      It can be a slog to learn but more because people recommend guides that show everything at once which isn't a good way to learn anything

      this arcade ones are the most difficult

      also frick golf in yakuza 3 and karaoke ones in kiwami 2

      Gotta be honest I thought golf was pretty fun
      well I did the substory for it fine anyway, the completion requirement is pretty tough though I did do it for Y4

    I remember being a kid before the internet was like this thinking I was the most autistic person in the world. But in reality I'm not even autistic enough to entertain the idea of 100%ing a Yakuza game, there are whole layers of autism beyond where I am

    Yakuza 100% are so fricking annoying because it starts out easy bit ALWAYS creeps upon you

    >eat at every restaurant
    >do every sidequest
    >do a whole bunch of minigames
    >after 50 hours find one minigame that’s extremely time consuming, has gambling bullshit or something else
    I wouldnt even mind difficulty, but I am not gonna savesuck some chicken race on ps4 that takes 5 minutes to load

    Or even worse when it’s something missable like in Yakuza 0 you picked the small box from Michael Jackson, oops you missed out on the enemy radar and now cannot grind money fast! Better start a clean savefile or grind money 100 times slower!!!

      I got the enemy radar despite not checking the right box and got it with Majima as well so I know there's another way to get it
      can't remember how though

        Majima has it guaranteed from a substory but he can't transfer it to Kiryu.
        Kiryu's is permanently missable for the playthrough if you choose the wrong box.

      For pre-DE baseball I don't think I'd ever be able to do baseball on console but mouse controls make it very easy, for timing you just realise you wait for the character's animation to change
      For DE baseball it's just practice and in judgment onward there are ways to make it easier

      Majima has it guaranteed from a substory but he can't transfer it to Kiryu.

      damnit I SWEAR I chose the wrong box but got it as Kiryu anyway
      Can't really prove it unfortunately

        okay looking at it I think I realise where I'm mistaken about this
        I am misremembering where I got a bad item from the first miracle johnson substory and thought that one had an encounter finder
        it doesn't and only the second one has it and I chose right for that one by complete luck

      Baseball is a joke unless you're talking about the Black Panthers or 1. If you're talking about the Black Panthers then I understand and if you're talking about 1 I understand because of the much stricter hit timing.

      Pre-DE baseball you just pay attention either to your character or your bat and then when the character flinches/tenses up you swing. If you need to aim on a controller use your left hand's pointer finger and thumb and grip it like you're punching for a much easier time.
      For the expert matches load up an easier game, tear up a small piece of paper and tape the top half of it to where the crosshair is, use something like a fine tip permanent marker or a pen and another piece of paper under the paper (So you don't mark up your TV/monitor) to mark where the center of the crosshair is, and then tape it down fully on the bottom half.

      Post-DE baseball is a complete joke and no person on the planet should have trouble with it. You have like three times the lenience on home runs to the point that a ball can fly past your bat and count as a home run, there's only around six throw locations you ever need to learn in any game, and every single throw is predetermined so if you jot that down or look up a list you'll have everything you need for it.

      FotNS Death Batting is only hard because of how finicky the home run point is and how you have to charge for it to count as a home run. Once you get the charge time down then it's just a matter of writing down or memorizing locations because they're also predetermined, and then muscle memorying where you aim for that hit. You have to get eight out of ten bikes as home runs for 100% as well.

      Golf sucks, has always sucked, and will always suck. It's a garbage sport and gives us even worse minigames. Mini golf is best.

      For pre-DE baseball I don't think I'd ever be able to do baseball on console but mouse controls make it very easy, for timing you just realise you wait for the character's animation to change
      For DE baseball it's just practice and in judgment onward there are ways to make it easier

      You can't choose the wrong box and get it as Kiryu, in the second substory you either get the Encounter Finder (Black) or one of the shirts you can buy from Don Quijote (White).
